3ov Water on Snake River No
Longer Interferes.
The O. R. & N. operating department
has received word that the boat service
on the Snake River, which had been aban
doned for some few days on account of
the low water, has been resumed, and
freight Is again being handled between
Lewiston and Riparia. The boats have
been experiencing some difficulty for some
time in handling the business caused by
the wheat shipments, owing "to the low
stage of the river, but the wet weather
of the past few days lias caused the water
to rise until it Is now possible to run the
boats with tolerable ease.
This season will in all probability be
the last in which the farmers of the Lew-iston-Rlparia
district will . have to look
to the river for the transportation of their
crops. The railroad extension now being
constructed will have been completed bv
the time the next crop Is ready to haul,
and the great bulk or the grain will be
diverted to the rail lines. The river busi
ness will be confined practically to the
ferriage business in transporting wheat
from one side of the river to the railroad
stations and warehouses on the other.
Arrested for Beating Landlord.
Because an angry husband caught him
in the act of playing "Peeping Tom" on
bis wife, and administered a well-deserved
beating, It Is alleged Mike Rltj.cr swore
out a warrant charging A. W. Stober with
assault and battery, and the young man
was arrested by Patrolman Murphy last
evening. According to Stober and a man
who formerly occupied the house at Delay
and SellwocT!?' streets. Rltter, who Js the
landlord, has made a practice of annoy
ing the wives of his tenants during the
ansence of their husbands, and on Sat
urday evening, as he was returning from
work. Stober saw the form of a man
peeping through the window of his home,
and promptly delivered a good beating to
the intruder. After finishing the Job he
recognized the man as his'landlord.
A former tenant of the house occupied
by Stober stated that he would be on hand
to testify when the case comes to trial,
and intends to explain the reasons for his
leaving the place, which are much the
same as the cause of Stober's assault on
the landlord.
SELL THE BELASGO
SEVERAL OFFERS RECEIVED
FOR THE PROPERTY.
Building Can Be Utilized for Stores
and for Offices or Room
ing Purposes. '
According to David Stenrn. who
represents Bclnsco & Mayer, the own
ers of the Belasco Theater, that build
ing: may never be reopened as a play
house. One of the most flattering offers
which the company has received for
the property comes from a firm which
wishes to acquire it for store purposes.
Nothing definite has been done in the
matter as yet, and it, like the other
offers. f are being held up for further
consideration.
If the theater is sold to the business
firm it will be entirely remodeled. Be
cause of the steep grade of the street
Just at the spot where the Belasco is
located. It possesses an advantage for
store purposes which is unique among
the properties on the principal streets
of Portland. This grade will permit
of two floors on the street level for use
as stores. The lower floor would have
Its entrance upon Burnsldc street, and
the upper floor would front on Wash
ington. In this way a double revenue
would be derived, and the prospective
buyers will follow the plan outlined
if they receive the property. Four
floors would be fitted up above for
office or rooming purposes.
Although Belasco & Mayer have lost
on their theater business In this
city, it is probable that they
will clear enough from the sale of the
building to more than make up the
deficit. They purchased the theater
from H. A. Blazler April 30. 1905. for
590,000. Since that time they have
spent about $5000 on Improvements. It
is understood that if they accepted any
of the several offers which have been
made they would clear more than $6000
on the transaction.
It is stated that some disposal will
probably be made of the prpperty with
in the next few days. Whether it will
go to the business firm or be secured
by show people has not been decided.
Several theatrical men are anxious to
make a. venture thore, and the theater
may be either sold or leased to some
one of them

TO SIT through a performance of
"The College Widow" is to be taken
back again to college days, to see
again the old. familiar -faces and scenes.
It must be a college man who gets the
fullest enjoyment out of this delightful
comedy from George Ade's pen; and like
wise It must be one whose sense of appre
ciation is blunted who can fail to feel
keen enjoyment in the delightful atmos
phere of the piece. In his, "College
Widow." Ade has penned well of a sub
ject that is near to heart and home. In
his character work he has made every
stroke tell, and the whole Is so skillfully
woven and blended as to form an epitome
of an entire football season at school.
One of the largest and most fashionable
audiences of the season saw last night's
first performance at the Marquam. There
has not been. In some months past, a play
dependent upon Its own merits and that
of a company devoid of favorite star,
which has been so well received, tac
curtain had been up not five minutes when
reserve was laid aside before an Infec
tious, escntlally American humor, em
bodying an Irresistible appeal to animal
spirits. When the curtain went down
upon the football victory after the third
act the gallery proceeded to tender the
players an ovation. Each of the eight
times the curtain was drawn at this time
there were loud calls for a speech from
Bolton, the halfback, but Mr. Truesdell
paid homage to the fact that the applause
was occasioned by tho vigorous sentiment
of a situation rather than by any personal
effort, and maintained a becoming silence.
The story of the piece is based upon a
football game. Atwater and Bingham Col
leges are close rivals, "each determined
to win the Thanksgiving game. Ohc Billy
Bolton, son of a railroad magnate, starts
for Bingham in accordance with his fa
ther's wishes. The young man happens
to be a famous Western halfback, and
Atwater's players arc anxious to get him.
They use the College Widow to effect his
capture, which she succeeds In doing.
Conventional complications ensue, and are
finally unraveled, as usual.
But the "plot" Is of no great importance
no more than the frame of a picture.
We find ourselves vastly more interested
in how "Bub" Hicks, the freshman. Is go
ing to come out at the faculty ball than
in the final denouement. When the coun
try gawk undergoes a transformation and
comes out a finished social product, the
effect Is second in exhilaration only to the
outcome of the game.
Miss Dorothy Tennant, In the title role,
proved satisfactory. Mr. Truesdell made
a fine-appearing football hero and acted
his part wclL The best character work
la that of Katherine Nugent. In the part
of Flora Wiggins, "a prominent waitress."
There are many Floras such as Miss Nu
gent reveals, and there are few who failed
to recognize an old acquaintance, even
though they had not "met her sociably."
to borrow one of Flora's pet phrases.
Messrs. Dcmerset, Klnslow and Torring
ton were a lifelike and convincing trio of
student's: Miss Tanner was well cast as
the athletic girl: Daniel TIbbcts made a
good town marshal, and the other parts
were In good hands. "The College Wid
ow" will be repeated tonight, with two
concluding performances Wednesday.
NEW VAUDEVILLE BILLS

name of the feature comedians who pro
ceed to pass outrcomedy with plenty of

bats to produce the act. Flood & Hayes

CONTENTION OF DR. WISE
Argument Advanced That He Wants
a Muzzled Pew.
PORTLAND. Jan. a To the Editor.) Dr.
Wise confounds two distinct tblca: The right
of the minister to think, speak and teach
freely, and the right of the congregation free
ly' to employ him and to discontinue that em
ployment when they drift too far apart. The
cne be strongly emphasises, the other he Ig
nores, for the only meaning of his argument
is that be expects and demands the sup
port and allegiance of the congregation to
which he may be called regardless of
whether his vlenrs commend themselves to his
congregation or not.
Nowadays few will dispute the right of a
man to speak and write freely what he
please. That right Is conceded. But It la
not conceded to everybody regardlem of the
porltion occupied. The respective right of
pulpit and pew Is a, burning quct!on seldom
dls;ussed without considerable feeling cer
tainly not often in the dry light so much to
be desired.
In those self-governing churches which free
ly call their own ministers, the relation of
church and minister Is ewntlally that of
employer and employed. He Is called by
those with whom he has rone community of
belief or purpose; diherwlee he would not be'
called by them. And while the employment
lasts he paould be the representative of his
congregation in harmony with it. not In con
flict with It on what they deem vital ques
tions. His position hi a dual one. He repre
ikM them as well ax himself, and when he
ceases to represent them he should not oc
cupy their pulpit or take their pay. Suppose,
for example, that Dr. Wise should cease to
hold or teach any form of Judaism; that he
should espouse the teachings of his great co
religionist, the lonely thinker of The Hague,
and should finally rest In pure naturalism.
Could he with propriety In.Vj5t that he must
be allowed perfect liberty of teaching those
doctrines despite the protests of his congre
gation? And can he rightly argue that If he
be not so permitted he Is a muzzled minis
ter? Assuredly a roan must speak his sincere
conviction If he Is to be a vital and effective
teacher: but most preachers preach with per
fect sincerity the doctrines of their respective
churches. That lt why they are In thos
churches. They arc at home la them and
there la no friction. That Is why Dr. "Wise is
in Temple Beth Israel.
If a man wishes to be perfectly free as a
thinker, preacher or teacher and without ob
llgatlore to any church or body whatever, he
must cut himself loose .from any church or
employing body and live as an Independent
teacher or writer, looking solely to voluntary
adherents. But he will then represent no.
church, no organization, no tradition, no race,
religion or cult, a mlnbner Is not an inde
pendent teacher like Socratw. who taught
without price and refused to accept pay for
fear of Its Influence on his perfect liberty.
Xor Is he an Isolated thinker like Spinoza,
who refused to accept a professorship of phi
losophy for a like reason. Those men deemed
any teaching for pay incompatible with a
perfectly free search after and teaching of the
truth. The minister Is rather the mouthpiece
of those who hold to fixed rules, fixed tradi
tions and fixed Ideals; and he Is In a large
measure the defender of organized and cor
porate tradition.
Can a man who ceases to voice the general
thought and beliefs of his particular con
gregation Insist that he is to be retained,
actively upheld and richly. paid, by that very
people whose beliefs or prejudices he may
attack In their own pulpit? if a preacher is
free to speak hU purely Individual sentiments
Irrespective of the sentiment of his congre
gation, what becomes of the right of the
congregation? Ia it not' bound and gagged
under tho specious pretext of having an un
muzzled pulpit?
Mr. Marshall's position Is simply this: That
If Irreconcilable differences should zxm be
tween a rabbi and his congregation, one of
them must yield, and that it must (In the
nature of things) be the rabbL Certainly,
and why not? Theirs in th synagogue, theirs
the money and theirs the audience; and they
are only doing what they have a perfect right
to do employing whomsoever they will, with
their own, for themselves. The rabbi Is not
muzzled, he Is not suppressed, he Is visited
with no punishment, he loses no right he
had before, nor any right he can Justly claim.
But he does lose that particular pulpit as the
vehicle of bis individual views and the right
to demand the financial and moral support of
the congregation when proclaiming those views.
Has not Dr. Wise allowed himself to go
astray .a his zeal for "liberty of prophesy
ing"? Has he not closed his eyes to the
right of a congregation to mlov wtirtm It
will, and to part from a teacher who may
try to lead them In what they consider danger
ous path?
This. then, is the conclusion of the whole
matter: "I would follow after the old He
brew prophet I win be free to teach, and
I will not be muzzled." urges Dr. Wise. "Tou
may so follow and teach and you shall
not be muzzled." answers Mr. Marshall, "but
while you eat our" com you must tread out
our corn not your own."
To an unregenerate lookeron Mr. Marshall
appears to have the right end of the argu
ment. LORING K. ADAM.
Burns Wood Instead of OH.
Civic Improvement pride no longer in
fluences the members of tho County Com
missioners' Court when economy figures
as a counter factor. Huge piles of slab
wood now adorn the Fifth-street yard of
the building. The reason of this is that
the county has gone back to burning wood
for the purpose of heating the Courthouse.
Some time ago the county put in an oil
burning plant and discarded the use of
slabwood. Recently a local slabwood
dealer agreed to furnish slabwood for 52.2S
a cord, and also agreed that the bill
would be 30 per cent less than the cost of
oIL Judge Webster and County Commts-
f sioners Barnes and LIghtner agreed to
make a contract for wood on these terms.
It it does not prove satisfactory the oil
plant will be put In use again The old
price for slabwood was 52.75 a cord.
